boosting 2.1psi from an electric supercharger doesn't sound worth it to me...

get some lightweight wheels and you'll see the same gains and it'll look alot cooler.

the only gain anyone is going to get from that is the person you bought it from's wallet.

According to the ad, it gives a higher top speed. How would it do that?

I like how it sits higher than everything else in your engine bay! I guess you'd need to make a killer scoop for it to function as a ram-air supercharger, but then only to be slowed down by the squirrel-cage fan in it.

.....although the "CockPit" mounted switch is definitely a selling point

Honestly....I think those ground wires are giving him more HP/Performance than that 'supercharger' is.

If you're gonna buy a leaf blower, at least get a decent one.

If you've ever seen the turbo from a jetta, that hair dryer gives you half the power that does... and a stock celica has more horsepower than a turbocharged vw with the same displacement so you have to decide if its really worth it
